I personally dislike MJK tyres, I would take paul gage any day over MJK tyres. The Yanks have tested them and paul gage come out on top. If you run ferrodore go paul gage, if you run on wood any silicone tyre would be better, usually around 0.3 faster per lap vs MJK MJk are harder to true and leave rubbish all over your track

MJK tyres are not good, there are lots of better options out there

they are quite a big car and very wide. Got t-slot and 908 running good. ive got weight in pod and some on the side, i don't really want to load it up with tonnes of weight but maybe ill have to play around a bit with weight setup

yep seen the FB photos, some great looking cars. Love the first livery

got mine tuned, is tailey compared to my mclaren and 908. got most of the pod covered in lead. Wonder if i should put some weight up near the guide ?

Bump for this topic. I only got the sideways lambo, but seen the M6 runs quite good. Due to funds, am considering a ford GTE chassis body when they release it. Im guessing from a marketing strategy they will do what they did with the lambo. White kit first, then liveries. Body and chassis next, bit more of a wait then the hard chassis we wood racers like......... Any more tips on sideways GT tuning ?

Good idea thanks for reply. Yes, it might be more of different tracks and different cars. I don't race heaps regularly enough to see this ongoing problem might take a while to work out. Ill try more controllers and different tracks to try and work it out. Pulled my controller apart last night and cleaned the brake pot, will see if its any better next time out..

5k Ohm Linear (B) Single Gang 24mm Potentiometer CAT.NO:RP3508 With imperial standard shaft & bushings made to our rigid engineering specifications. The potentiometers are full size - 24mm diameter types . Power rating is 0.5W max. They have genuine 6.35mm (1/4) shafts with a flat machined 25% of the diameter for grubscrews or interference fit knob mounting. The shaft is a generous 38mm long. The bush is a 3/8 32 T.H.D. type which we believe is necessary for good fixing to a panel. Another important feature of the pots is their PCB mount capability. The pins are rigidly mounted on phenolic with the centre pin offset from the two outer terminals. When soldered into a PCB, the pot is quite rigidly held on its own. Double gangpots are held in 6 places and require no extra mechanical mounting assistance. The pins are large enough to terminate screened cable, etc., if the job requires hard wiring. An engineering drawing appears below. You may safely use it to design PCB artwork etc., as we have standardised this design.Value5K

5k Ohm Linear (B) Single Gang 16mm Potentiometer CAT.NO:RP7508 These pots have imperial standard shaft.- Shaft is 1/4 D type (30% of shaft has been removed for flat), so they suit all our knob range.- Shaft length is 30mm, so there is plenty there if you need more length.- Power rating Linear 0.2W and Log 0.1W.Value5K

Jaycar have some in stock which would be much cheaper 5k Ohm Logarithmic (A) Single Gang 24mm Potentiometer CAT.NO:RP3608 With imperial standard shaft & bushings made to our rigid engineering specifications.

Thanks running stock revo it was struggling. Also slot.it red flat AW12-28 and 22 shark 13-32 thanks

Thanks for the replies, that slot.it controller looks good, but heard they are hard to work on and repair ? I just don't have enough brakes on certain motors, including revo. Not sure if i didn't notice before and its gotten gradually worse. I put the brakes on full and it just doesn't stop in time. Still got decent brakes on my thunderslot. Put brakes on min or half and its even worse. Was looking at getting this brake pot ? https://www.professormotor.com/product-p/pmtr2039.htm

Hi, Relatively new to hobby, i haven't done a brake pot upgrade before. Is there much to it ? I am struggling with brakes on my Professor Motor controller with 24 scale cars and more powerful motors. The brake pot is marked 1417. What sort of new part would you recommend and is there much to fitting it ? thanks

would they fit a sideways chassis ?

Hi, Was looking at Printing my own waterslide decals. Only have a cheap black and white printer so was looking for suggestions on where to go to get some print offs. Was thinking Office Works ? Not sure how much a local printer would charge for a couple of one off prints. Only new to this but read I would need a printer that does white ink, spoke to office works and from what i could tell they did not have this option. Is there different quality water slide decal sheets ? Any advice would be great ? also templates for sponsors and numbers etc thanks
